1961 Super rocket gearbox casing

[anjimehra]

Hi guys
Don't have a sample to check, but will the gear box shell of a swinging arm BB 31 / 33 be a match for the Super Rocket box. Something other than oil has run in the box !!

Hi, Anji,

Yes same part, same gearbox (STD)

The only obvious changes to the swing arm A/B gearboxes are between early and late boxes which have a slightly different clutch cable abutment. The early ones have a slot and are threaded, while the later ones have just a hole and no threaded clutch cable adjuster at the gearbox end.

Hi John
Thanks a ton. Those are more easily available here. Bought this bike in 1964 for Pounds 40 or so & rode it back to India in 1965 with a classmate & his brother . Sold it in 1968 for 150 quid & bought it back in 1983 for 700 quid. 4 or 5 owners in between 68 & 83
Ride safe
